The authors investigated correlations between retrospective dream characteristics, food preferences, and eating attitudes. Graduate students (7 men, 42 women) at Santa Clara University were administered the MEGA food scale and the KJP Dream Inventory. High intake of organic food was positively correlated with reports of multiple dream factors. Conversely, high scores on preferences for fast food, potato chips, and carbohydrates were negatively correlated with several factors. Findings are discussed in terms of the hypothesis that certain foods may influence dreaming.

Through K-12 student workshops in 3D-printing technology at the Michigan State St. Andrews 3D-printing lab, a collaborative STEAM outreach project was initiated with the Committee on Chemists with Disabilities of the American Chemical Society to design and build an accessible Periodic Table of the Elements to celebrate the 2019 International Year of the Periodic Table. This project supported the education of students in 3D-printing technology and promoted their interests in learning about science while bringing awareness to the obstacles faced by individuals with disabilities. The project lessons, which included tile designs using CAD software, conformed to both the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards by defining problems, developing models, carrying out investigations, and designing solutions. Students acquired basic skills in 3D modeling and broad general knowledge of the Periodic Table. In Fall 2019, this Periodic Table, which included ASL hand-signing and Braille on each element tile, was displayed at the National American Chemical Society Meeting in San Diego.
